but, you, know, it depends on how premature, the birthweight, etc, and a lot of these extremely premature infants carry significant health issues with them into the rest of their lives IF they survive. I know it's fun to get all outraged about the margins of practice, but trying to figure out what to do at 23 weeks is an experience that only a tiny fraction of women have whether they want the baby or not and no one envies them their selection of choices, and maybe you're not qualified to judge.

I don't claim to know whats best in these unfortunate situations. There is no judgment.

It varies. Among the many problems with this video, we don't know what state it was filmed in. However, considering the way the conversations went and the fact that they were discussing a future procedure, we can assume there was one in play in this case.

At this point, it would be easier to list the issues that the Trump administration hasn't split with the American public on. He broke with the majority of Americans on the tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, gun control . . . hell, when he moved into the White House, almost two-thirds of Americans disagreed with that.

Remember that great quote from that French politician back in the 1800s? "There go the people. And I must follow them because I am their leader." Trump doesn't. Maybe no Republican does at the moment.

I like how "sanctity of life" is a term nitwits like Pence can throw around while ignoring the fact that mass shootings are a ****ing epidemic in this country...where the lives being taken belong to people who've established a personality and an identity because they've become products of their environments.
